The homies over at Gyantunplugged are reporting that Wale decided to perform at DC’s Gay Pride over the weekend and he did it for free. I was told that in making his original decision he didn’t want to mess up his image which makes since cause yall know how people tend to take pictues and stories that never happen and make up lies. So I have to give it to Wale for stepping up and doing what was right. Here is what happen.Gyantunplugged:

Now that the holiday weekend is over it looks like one DC MC will avoid the negative backlash of the blogs today. I got some emails over the weekend regarding Wale and his abrupt decision to perform at a DC Gay Pride event.

GU.com initially put you all on to the news that Roc Nation’s star artist pulled out of the event last minute when the word started to spread like wild fire online.

Per Hip-Hop DX:

Clearing up the situation, Wale told the crowd, ”One thing I stand for is Hip Hop music. And Hip Hop music knows no race, no color, no age, no gender, no sexual orientation — none of that. So, the most important thing about it is the music, and if it makes the people feel happy, that’s what we hear.”

He continued, “I will say, sometimes in this business you get aligned with people that don’t understand that, or don’t necessarily have the same beliefs that you do. And I apologize for not having my best foot forward to understand the people I’m in business with. And I’m going to do better, as we all do.”

Good job for you Wale. Lord knows NOBODY can afford to piss off the gays these days.
